108 Min Run (base) --161--

GRIFFITH PARK -- Got out for an awesome and eventually brutal double-digit loop. Went down to the fountain entrance to the park, back to the trailheads and then up up up. Got up to the lookout about 1,500 ft. I don't even know what that thing is called, but it's the the highest point of the Hollywood Hills as far as I can tell. (Map seems to show Cahuenga Peak is 1,600, but that's a good ways away from the hood)

That went all well. But by the time the decent ended, I needed to tack on a bit to make it 10+ and came out the Western entrance. Was OK with water, which was surprising as I lost more than 5 pounds on this one. Issue was definitely blood sugar and switching to fat stores. Last night I put in an early, light dinner of cheese and salami and almonds. And I usually run now w/o eating first. And for whatever reason, it was all gone by the time I got on Los Feliz again. Tapped. Really had to chew that last bit up. Done and done. I saw visions in the shower. That happened. It was beautiful.

Prolly was not in acceptable climbing shape, which I could fake on the way up, but it took it all to get there. Awesome run. A good time was had by all. Endomondo here.
